Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 0.5 cup hot water
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the pitted dates and hot water, allowing them to soak for about 5 minutes until soft and easier to blend.
Step 3
Transfer the soaked dates to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Add in the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract, then blend until fully combined and smooth.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture from the blender into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well incorporated.
Step 6
Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk, folding gently until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the cupcakes remain light and airy.
Step 7
Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about half to three-quarters full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
